Sound:
It is quiet, just like other roland CY cymbals when struck
Feature:
"natural swing" should be more like natural bounce. I have 5 cy-14C's and 1 cy - 15R. These do not swing like the CY-14 c's do, even though they have the same description as the cy-14 with the natural swing.
The cymbal does work, but if you want your Roland V drums to feel as close to playing acoustic drums as possible, buy cy-12, 14, 15 cymbals instead.
Ease of Use:
as good as the other Roland V drum products.
Quality:
The CY-8 does not seem to be constructed as well as the CY 12, 14 & 15.
Value:
Yes, its worth the price; especially if you are on a budget. If you have extra money laying around, but the cy 12, 14 or 15 cymbals. As for me, i was looking to add a splash type cymbal to my set and decided for the price, the cy-8 looked good. At some point, i will probably replace this with a CY - 12 R/C
Manufacturer Support:
I have not needed any service so i rated rolands support at a 5.

Thank you. Your vote has been counted. Could you briefly tell us why the review was or was not helpful?

"No-brainer for the price!!"

Sound:
Sound is not really applicable here unless you're talking about the amount of sound striking the cymbal produces, which is minimal.
Feature:
For this price, the features are great!! (Dual triggering)
Quality:
Could be a little better quality, but you won't find this level of quality at this price-point anywhere else.
Manufacturer Support:
Never needed Roland support. Their products are great.
